The object of my invention is to provide a thimble for achimney, for a stove-pipe to enter. The thimble is made with the outside rim of metal, having an indentation around the hole in the same, for the iron thimble to be turned into, and for the cover of the thimble to shut into, and on the inner end of the thimble is an outward flare, to hold the same in the hole of the chimney.
